West Fest

Today was West Fest! Everyone in our school has been preparing for a long time now and today was finally the day. The students have worked so hard and they did such a great job, I was so proud of all of them. I loved seeing their art work hanging all over the school.

 

 

 

 

 

For our bulletin board we read Fairy Tales and created large castle book reports in groups. They had to look up words they didn't know on the iPads. I loved seeing the castles come together in the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr.Seuss Week

We celebrated Read Across America this week by wearing something different each day to go along with a Dr.Seuss book. We also did some Dr.Seuss inspired crafts and activities throughout the week!

 

Doing some math around the room on crazy hat day! 

 

 

We wore something with a pocket for "There's a Wocket in My Pocket!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fox in Socks puppets!

 

 

 

We made Cat in the Hat drawings and then measured how tall his hat was since we are focusing on customary measurement in math right now! 

And finally we had some "green eggs and ham" as a snack!

Fractions with Hershey Bars!

On Friday we started fractions! To introduce fractions I used the Hershey Fraction Book and they got to use real Hershey bars AND eat them so they are loving fractions already!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Valentine's Day!

We celebrated Valentine's Day today! We started our day by making jars that I later filled with Valentines M&Ms. We made our owl bags yesterday that our Valentines went in. The kids all had a blast giving out their Valentines to their friends! Thank you to all the parents who sent in treats as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

100th Day of School!

Today we celebrated the 100th day of school! I can't believe how fast this year is flying by. We did tons of fun activities throughout the day and we got to dress up like we were 100 years old!!

 

 

 

 

Seeing how many times we could write our names in 100 seconds!

 

 

Seeing how far 100 steps took us in the hallway!

 

How many times could we hop in 100 seconds?

 

We used the number 100 to create pictures
